In the closing statements of his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content” (Philippians 4:11). God desires and expects everyone called by the gospel to experience the same contentment in which Paul had learned to rest. Most professing Christians claim […]
In the 4th chapter of Galatians, Paul wrote, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” (vs. 16). This question was posed to the churches in Galatia who were not receiving the Truth Paul had delivered to them, but were taking hold of that being proclaimed by others […]
“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame” (1 Corinthians 15:33).The purpose of this series is to convince professing believers that a person can not inherit everlasting life while remaining carnal, or worldly, in nature, thought, and deed; that the carnal mind is wide […]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

In the teaching titled “Who’s Your Mama”, I began showing that much of the church world has been deceived by false ministers of Christ and are subsequently separated from Jesus through doctrines that literally keep people under a written letter of law. It would be helpful to read that teaching before you dig into this […]
Paul’s letter to the Galatians is to warn the churches about religious deception and turn the hearts of the people back to Jesus. In his opening words, the apostle wrote, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; […]
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). The animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant are a prophetic representation of all that was accomplished through the death of Jesus, and of what is to […]
Before you read this, I want to remind you of 2 Corinthians 4:18 where the apostle Paul wrote, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Understand that I […]
